Painting Tutorial: How to Paint Realistic Water in Oils

This painting tutorial shows how to paint realistic water in oils, a subtle balance of colors, values and edges. Please note: any paintings created using my tutorials are not viable to sell.

The original painting "Emerald Wave" measures 36x24 inches and is available for sale on my website https://evavolf.com Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that all my artist-friends will find it useful or at least entertaining. You're most welcome to try out some techniques I taught myself over the years. I used the following colors to create this ocean wave painting: Burnt Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Indian Yellow, Viridian (Green), Ultramarine blue and Payne's Gray (and of course Titanium White). I also used Liquin as a medium. I really love and recommend brushes from my favorite supplier Princetonbrush.com : several sizes filbert brushes from Aspen series, #6 Catalyst angle bright and 2" wide angle brush from Aspen series. This painting was painted in one sitting, wet on wet in about 5-6 hours.
